Anakin & Padmé conversations: EPISODE II scene 10

P: I brought anda something. Are anda hungry? A: The shifter broke. Life seems so much simpler when you’re fixing things. I’m good at fixing things. Always was. But I couldn’t… Why’d she have to die? Why couldn’t I save her? I know I could have!

P: Sometimes there are things no one can fix. anda are not all-powerful, Ani. A: Well, I should be! Someday I will be. I will be the most powerful Jedi ever. I promise you. I will even learn to stop people from dying. P: Anakin! A: It’s all Obi-Wan’s fault! He’s jealous! He’s holding me back! P: What’s wrong, Ani? A: I, I killed them. I killed them all.

They’re dead. Every single one of them. And not just the men… but the women… and the children too. They’re like animals... and I slaughtered them like animals! I hate them! P: To be angry is to be human. A: I’m a Jedi. I know I’m better than this. (cries)

I agree. He's a teenager, yet so powerful, and he finally exercised that power through anger. But he's human, so he's deeply ashamed at the same time. Padme's reaction is incredible - hey, he just killed an entire village, but he couldn't help it!
